Yes, it's time for blatant self-promotion. I am over a recent and very nasty case of strep throat and would love to be chained to the computer once again, but I have no power (due to Sunday's storm) and am borrowing a friend's laptop to post this. I've never had to write a 5-second blog post before, but that's all the time I've got. All I can really think about this week is my new book - how fun the cover is, what more I need to do to promote it, and whether I'll ever stop obsessing over Ama

Of Nuts and Chocolate - (USA)
Two months ago, our Pro Vercelli Serie C1 promotion dish served up a fundamental combination of world cuisine—beans and rice—which comes to a subtle perfection in the borlotti-rich risotto that is Panissa vercellese . Last month, our Serie B promotion celebration turned to an even more essential marriage of flavors that is even more elevated in the history of our hometown's environs. I speak—deep breath here—of nuts and chocolate. If you have doubts that Piedmont marks the dead-center hub o

Easy Gourmet Dessert Recipe - Chocolate Parfait - (USA)
Easy Gourmet Dessert Recipe - Chocolate ParfaitI thought I’d change gears and share an easy gourmet dessert recipe with you. Chocolate parfaits are elegant and simple. They look impressive even if you know better. The secret is that you can assemble a parfait with all store bought ingredients and no one will know the difference.As a tip: don’t use canned whipped cream. It’s much more impressive if you whip your own. And it’s easy to do - just put the whipping cream in a bowl with some sugar (1

Travel Writing about Morocco #23 - (USA)
In our series on travel writing about Morocco we have often been critical of simplistic stereotyping and ill-informed information. So it was refreshing to discover a "foodie" article about Morocco. Cynthia Clampitt writes a couple of blogs as well as contributing to magazines. Her The World's Fare blog is certainly worth a look.Here is her recent entry -MOROCCO ROCKS!By Cynthia ClampittMy name is Cynthia Clampitt, and I am a writer, world traveler, and culinary historian.

Sweets with a Dash of Spice - (USA)
I stumbled upon Whimsy & Spice’s website last year as I was searching for co-worker Christmas presents. Immediately I was hooked: cardamom marshmallows? rose and black pepper cookies? lavender and honey shortbread? Who were these people and why did they get the spicy-and-sweet combination so well? A little digging (and a purchase of maple, cardamom, and caramel marshmallows) later, I realized that not only were they a great business with unique products, but they were a husband-and-wife

Tips to Make Your Home Sparkle for the Holidays - (USA)
Holiday entertaining requires more than artful decorations, tasty hors d’oeuvres and some cheerful librations. Savvy hosts know that great holiday entertaining occurs in a home that sparkles as brightly as the decorations that adorn it. The holidays can be a time to truly let your hostess skills shine, as family and friends gather to celebrate.

A Macaron Class at L’Atelier des Chefs - (USA)

Those around me know my predilection for these confections and when I was invited to take part in the class, I jumped

Esther Blum Gets Gorgeous with Pomegranates! - (USA)
Fall is here, and it’s my favorite time of year. The air gets crisper, you get to dress in layers, and your hair stays frizz-free and under control (or so you hope). But there’s another reason why I treasure the fall: pomegranates. Dark, sweet, tart, and let’s face it—sensual. Pomegranate juice is something of a panacea. Drinking 8 ounces of 100% pomegranate juice per day has been proven in research studies to improve everything from cardiovascular disease and blood vessel blockages to dia

Fun Recipe Ideas That Allergy Sufferers Can Use - (USA)
by Chris Channing Cooking for those with a food allergy is a bit tricky. It usually involves a lot of nutrition label checking, and trying to edge around things that the person can’t eat. The key solution to this problem is to simply be creative, and be aware of what you can do to get around certain ingredients. You can even bake a cake without milk, after all!

Composite Recipe: Pumpkin Bread - (USA)
I played around with another composite recipe over the weekend: pumpkin bread. You might have guessed if you read my blog around this time two years ago that I love pumpkin. I even have some IQF diced pumpkin in my freezer right now. But since I was spending so much time comparing recipes (you believe me, right?), I got lazy and used canned pumpkin puree. That means that it's okay for you to too. First, the ingredients: IngredientsRecipe 1Recipe 2Recipe 3Recipe 4Recipe 5Meoven temp350 F350 F

Sour Milk - (USA)
It is one of the ironies of modern life that kind of tickles me when I think about it, but when we come across a recipe calling for sour milk, we have to actually make our milk sour by adding vinegar, while most sour milk recipes were developed by our foremothers to use up the milk that had gone bad in days where most families had a dairy cow or knew somebody who did. Granny Tea tells me that even though her family lived in town, they owned a cow that they boarded at the outskirts of town- jus

What\’s the Difference Between Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate? - (USA)
We\’ve all encountered both milk and dark chocolate in stores, and we\’ve probably all eaten some of each. We know that milk chocolate tends to be softer and sweeter than dark chocolate, but we might not know much more. If you\’ve been wondering what the real difference between milk and dark chocolate is, as well as all the other kinds out there, here are the basic facts. We discovered that we could separate cocoa and cocoa butter from a processed cocoa bean. These substances are combined in d

Seafood Lasagna - (USA)
I recently came across this recipe for a seafood lasagna on Confections of a Foodie Bride which sounded so good that I had to make it right away. How could I not make it right away? It contains so many of my favorite foods including cheesy baked pasta, shrimp, king crab and scallops. I also liked that it contained an entire package of spinach for that green vegetable that I like to try to include in my meals. This lasagna starts with a layer of cheese and spinach followed by a layer stuf
